Project Summary

A large number of children in developing countries lack
access to known effective interventions. Almost 9 million die each year before
reaching their fifth birthday, and over 200 million children who survive fail
to achieve their full growth or developmental potential, trapping them in a
cycle of continuing disadvantage.

The goal of SPRING, Sustainable Programme Incorporating Nutrition & Games,
is to develop an innovative, feasible, affordable and sustainable
community-based approach that can achieve delivery at scale of known effective
interventions that will maximise child development, growth and survival. SPRING
will be delivered by community based agents through home visits during
pregnancy, immediately post birth, the postpartum period and infancy.
